These two volumes contain the wonders of the classical world: the literary artistic, social, political, religious, scientific, and philosophical texts of ancient Greece and Rome, all presented in a modern, accessible manner. From Homeric epics to the histories of Plutarch, and from Plautus' wildly comic plays to Cato's instructions on farming, The Classical Greek Reader and The Classical Roman Reader are essential to anyone interested in knowing, firsthand, the texts that helped form the backbone of Western civilization.
